No problem at all: in rc.kerneld just test about kernel version: ifin 2.0.X just use "kerneld". in 2.[12].X use "kmod" ( I had to make a little trick to manage conf.modules, but a minor problem. ) Juan Antonio \|||/ / _ _ \ \ o o /=========================o00o===U===o00o======================================Juan Antonio Martínez Universidad Politécnica de Madridemail: jantonio@dit.upm.es E.T.S.I Telecomunicaciónhttp://www.dit.upm.es/~jantonio Ciudad Universitaria s/nTel: 34-1-5495700 ext 328 Centro de CálculoFax: 34-1-3367333 Madrid, Spain==============================================================================You mean you paid MONEY for Service Pack '98????==============================================================================Allways look for the rigth side of life - Monty Phyton==============================================================================
